681. Scissors Crossover
... topic: 2428 Scissors Crossover posted: 23 Mar 2014 08:02 from: PeterD Hi all, I have put together templates to create a scissors crossing and have come across some potential issues. 1. I have modified the check rails but cannot work out how I can create the internal common crossing within the diamond. Can anyone help with this please? 2. What is the best way to isolate and connect the diamond crossing? 3. Is continuous checking through the formation correct? Thank you. Box file attached.

The diamond crossing part was very tight, but I managed to fit it all in, see what you think. I hope this helps. All the best, Brian.

... , thanks again John posted: 13 Apr 2014 07:37 from: Alan Turner A word of warning however, as I found out. If you are planning to connect a projector to the computer at your demo it might not work when you connect to your computer from hibernation. I found this out at a demo I gave. Luckily I had a copy of 91c on another laptop that I was able to show but it was disappointing not to be able to show the latest version. Alan posted: 13 Apr 2014 08:58 from: Hayfield Alan Thank you but there is no chance of doing that, I am just giving a track building demonstration for the day at the local model railway show (SW Herts MRS) and when I did the Watford Finescale show, many said they were baffled with Templot. Just want to show how easy the basics are thats all. posted: 13 Apr 2014 12:02 from: Martin Wynne Hayfield wrote: Thank you but there is no chance of doing that, I am just giving a ...

... for that suggestion. I will add a note of the page origin dimensions on the template page prints. The page origin is already shown on the printed page map: 2_221933_500000000.png Note that the page origin is already included in your program preferences between sessions. This doesn't help for old templates of course, a note on the actual template makes sense. See: topic 370- message 14573 and subsequent.

I have finally drawn up the geometry of a WDLR turnout and want to bring it into Templot to generate O14 templates.

References to the current template now usually mean the currently selected background template, according to context. I would much prefer an HTML version so that each item can be made a clickable link to the full explanation, and the list easily searched in the browser (Ctrl+ F). Thanks again, Martin. posted: 29 Jun 2014 15:08 from: Brian Nicholls Hi Martin, I understand your requirements from your comments, and will amend the list accordingly. I will post another amended PDF version shortly, and will then produce an HTML version for you as soon as I can.

... over 3,000 unique users in all that time, and I still keep finding bugs which have been there from the beginning and no-one has ever mentioned. If background templates are hidden, you can still click on the empty space they would occupy and get their pop-up menu on the left. This makes no sense at all and must be utterly confusing to any beginner who stumbles across it. Fixed in the next program update. Better late than never.

690. Trax ::: Templot
... topic: 2473 Trax ::: Templot posted: 28 Jun 2014 09:56 from: Jack Belgium Hi I'm new to Templot and am a bit out of phase. I recently purchased Trax3 and have encountered some frustrating issues. After writing to the editor, Noodle Books, I've been directed to Templot. My questions are: What is the connection between Templot and Trax? How do I post a question on the discussion group? Best regards from Belgium Jack posted: 28 Jun 2014 12:08 from: Martin Wynne Hello Jack, Welcome to Templot Club. There is no direct connection between Trax and Templot. Trax (currently Trax3) is a paid-for computer program written by Jeff Geary and available on CD from Noodle Books: http://billhudsontransportbooks.co.uk/selected-product.php?pid=3521 Templot (currently Templot2) is a computer program written by me and available as a free download: http://templot.uk The programs are not directly comparable. Templot2 contains many more track design functions than Trax3. Against that Trax3 ...

The background shapes file show the roof trusses that cause the unusual shape. It'll never get built, but it was fun doing it.

... . I have attached a box file showing rails only that may help. In order to avoid check rail etc. conflicts the A6 turnout has a curviform Vee and the branch track has the same radius as the A6 turnout road. Note the timbers need to be reinstated and then shoved as necessary. A tandem with one turnout to the right and the other one to the left is somewhat easier to do and might be a better choice for that location.

... still can't beat screen size with so many applications. And a 30" and up screen is not really portable. While I have been running Templot on an Apple Mac Book Pro 17" I still want a dedicated machine with two screens for that type of application. It is just so much easier. Anyway, as the power of devices increases the software gobbles up the processing improvements anyway. Always been the case. And desk tops are usually more powerful than their portable versions. Matt M. posted: 4 Feb 2014 08:33 from: its_all_downhill This brings up an interesting topic. My take on it is that although personal sales of desktops are dwindling the corporate market will still need a requirement for them as staff need to come in and sit at a desk as the idea of remote working is still some way off even after decades of it being touted as the panacea of flexible working. So the world moves on and 'we' all want tablets, smartphones and phablets to consume our content. But the smaller percentage who want to create ...

... bottle they do look really good. Whether or not I use it for the canal embankments is another matter we shall see. I'm planning on a late Summer early Autumn for Long lane, where the grass will be a fairly yellowy colour, but still enough of summer left so that I can model trees with leaves as they'll be needed for a possible scenic break or two. If anyone has any photos of Tetley mills I loved to see them and get reacquainted with the layout. Dave posted: 16 Nov 2008 03:08 from: Nigel Brown Hi Dave Just a thought.

696. Saving Templot
... (as at a). I'm afraid I can't provide a primer on using those controls. It is all standard Windows stuff which you can find in any book or web site about Windows. I would suggest that you don't use the virtual folders owned by Windows (such as "My Documents") for your Templot files (or for anything else for that matter) -- create your own folders for your stuff. But that's up to you, it's your computer. regards, Martin. posted: 27 Dec 2013 08:52 from: MaxSouthOz Hi Martin I thought long and hard before asking the question as I'm invariably misunderstood. This is just another occasion. I don't expect Primers on Windows, I was trying to ask how I can save Templot to a drive, other than the C: drive as I seem to be missing the option to browse the other drives. I have driven the 80 km to Sol's place, where I described to him the lack of an option to browse for other places- and have just driven back ...

... tip -- they serve only to guide the wheel flange, not to support the wheel, at the tip. In the straightcut switch (lower two pictures) the shiny tops run all the way to the tip, supporting the wheel along the full length of the planing. This is the way to identify switches in photos. If the open blade is shiny all the way to the tip, it is almost certainly a straightcut/joggled switch.
